Secretary Rusk Officially Declares the Fact
Correspondence on the subject of a place
for the meeting was interrupted by the
presence of the cholera scare, and it is now
as uncertain as ever where the conference
will be held. A date for its assembling,
which cannot well lieannounced until after
the place of meeting has lieen agreed upon,
is of course equally a matter of doubt.
Treasury officials say this is doubtless the
basis of the report printed in some of the
western papers that Senator Allison could

Washington-, Sept. 20. Edmund John
son has leen removed from the consulate at
Kiel, Germany, for false representation as
to his niilitary services and for fraudulent
practices as consul. The case has lieen un
der investigation by Secretary of State Fos
ter for the past month, and definite action
was taken on Saturday. Johnson was first
appointed to the consular service in 172,
and has several times undergone investiga
tion, and was once relieved, but soon re-entered
the service.
One Investigation Too llnnjr for Him.
He maintained his position upon the rep
resentation that l:e was repeatedly wound
ed at various battles during thevil w:ir,
and was thereby greatly impnirc..n health.
Recent charges as to his accounts and offi
cial conduct led to an investigation of his
Ijiilitary service, which showed that his
r.rmy record was bad; that he was not in
the service at the time and did n.t paitici
Iate in the battles as alleged, ami that the
claim made as to his wounds was entirely
unfounded. Ho was also found to be guilty
of presenting fraudulent accounts as consul.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. William Walker,
in a letter to the Washington Post, raises a
question in connection with the approach
ing election that may lie of importance as
it certainly is of interest. Referring to the
generally accepted theory that the electoral
college of 1S'.(2 will contain 444 votes.
Walker says: "Paragraph 2, section 1, art

'Each state shall appoint in such manner
as the legislature thereof shall determine a

the state may lie entitled in the congress.'
Which congress does this refer to? is the
